On MW, the two were basically equal. Each one had frequencies on which it
beat the other. then they weren't 'basically' equal. It's amazing that a radio with a smaller ferrite bar can keep up with my DX-398. It sure is, isn't it. ;-) Of course, the 398 sounds better with more bass and everything, but that's to be expected. But of course. You sure though? On FM, again the two were comparable. Maybe the 398 won with the whip not extended, but with the whip fully extended, there was no differenc You think. :-) On SW, the Degen blew away my 398! Oh quit it Corbin....lol...why don't you start a yahoo group on your new piece and see how many join. I'm sorry, this one is the hardest for me to believe. Anyone else? Is this even 'remotely' possible. I've got a log book my friend has just from my DX398 that hasn't even been modded yet (it will be) just so he can see if he can catch the same stations and countries as I have)....I know I live out in an RF free environment but still. I need another coffee now. ;-) Of course I realize that the 398 is designed to work best with an external antenna attached. well then. :-) Which I have, two of the In fact, most of the time, I like to keep the whip unextended. Do you mean 'extended' maybe? Just curious. Unextended for listening to what? When I fully extended both whips, the 398 came closer in reception, but the Degen still shone. Meaning? What? The Degen *you* just bought slammed the DX398? Huh? I love my new Degen 1102. I can tell :-) Maybe I'll post more tomorrow when I get tired of listening to it. Or maybe not. I'll be anxiously awaiting (seriously.) I'm tempted to borrow my friends that I talked into buying one and sitting it next to MY DX398 and Hammarlunds and RCA Victors and GE P-780 and see what the results are. Or on AM sit it next to my GE P-780 and see what the results are. That'd be a barn burner I'm sure. Sorry Corbin (I don't know if you're new or not) your post just *kind* of rubbed me the wrong way.....soory if I made you upset. Heck I may just go out and buy one of the radios myself and see what they're all about. That IS what this hobby is for. But I don't have much room for it and my 'needs' (radio wise) are taken. Until I get the Hammarlund 180 or an SP600 model, I might hold tight. Happy Dxing with your new radio, sounds like your enjoying it. |
